There is a high-end ticket booth not far from Hengdian, and many people know about it.
But even so, it took Gu Mian and the others a while to find this so-called high-end ticket booth.
Because it's really hard to find.
Looking at the alley that was only a few meters wide in front of him, the alley was still a dusty dirt road with many potholes. The fat man scratched his head: "I said doctor, is the Laoshizi high-end ticket booth really here?"
"It's such a remote place. I wouldn't poop here even if I looked at the birds. Does this high-end ticket booth really know how to choose a place?" The fat man muttered to himself.
This alley is branched off from a narrow road. There are several bags of cement placed next to the alley. It seems that it is intended to be paved with a cement floor.
But before construction could begin, this global game was about to hit the world, and this dirt road would not be turned into a concrete road after all.
Because it was a dirt road, Gu Mian saw a tall tree growing at the end of the alley.
Unlike the green trees next to the road, the tree at the end has lush branches and leaves, and the trunk can be hugged by a person. Gu Mian visually inspected it and found that the tree was about four stories high.
Not far from the big tree, there is a very brand-new house.
The sun was shining on the brand new house, and the scene looked very beautiful.
Gu Mian glanced at the map in her hand: "It should be that room, have you seen it?"
"I saw it." The fat man also looked at the house and nodded: "But isn't it different from the ticket booths we have seen before?"
Of course it's different, after all, the word "advanced" is added.
The ticket halls they had seen before were all dilapidated and old. The outer walls were almost peeling off, and the facilities inside were also very old. The big table in the middle of the ticket hall seemed to have been picked up from a garbage dump.
But this one in the distance looks very high-end and classy at first glance. The walls are painted white and reflect the light under the sunlight.
Gu Mian saw people coming in and out of the ticket booth all the time.
Most of the people who went in had joy and expectation on their faces, but those who came out almost all had depressed faces; the atmospheres of the two groups of people were completely different.
"I guess 90% of the people who went in didn't get a ticket." The fat man came over mysteriously.
From time to time, people passed by them, mostly people walking out of the ticket booth with dejected faces.
Probably because he was afraid that these people would hear him if he spoke too loudly, so the fat man spoke very quietly. He was afraid of being beaten by a group of people.
"Of course," Gu Mian said matter-of-factly, "I guess I have to go through some trials before I can get this event ticket."
And it seems that this trial is quite difficult...
Gu Mian thought for a while and added: "We may not be able to get it."
There were also people who came out of the ticket booth beaming with joy. It seemed that they had successfully obtained tickets for the event, but there were not many people with such beaming expressions on their faces.
Gu Mian didn't look outside for too long. He walked towards this high-end building.
When they walked to the door, they discovered a group of people in military uniforms standing inside the ticket booth.
After all, it is the only high-end ticket booth near the event, so it is not surprising that there are troops stationed there. Gu Mian probably is afraid that there will be a rush to grab tickets.
Moreover, it is not uncommon to see the army around Hengdian. From time to time, people see small teams in military uniforms wandering the streets, probably on patrol.
Apart from other places, the security around Hengdian is fairly safe.
There were quite a few patrolling teams around this high-end ticket booth, and one would pass by from time to time.
When Gu Mian and others walked to the door, they happened to pass by a small team.
The fat man looked curiously at the group of soldiers who passed him: "Speaking of which, doctor, I have seen this patrol many times today. It seems they don't have time to enter the dungeon, right?"
"I guess I don't have time." Gu Mian nodded.
The army obviously didn't have enough manpower. The three of them stopped in Hengdian for a few days and noticed that the army had been recruiting people. As long as they were young men, they basically refused to come.
Even the fat man who was walking on the street a few days ago was questioned enthusiastically. The frightened fat man ran back to the hotel directly and did not dare to show his face for several days.
In normal times, the army would never recruit people so hastily, but now is a special period.
"The army here has to protect the event venue and maintain order. They have to work overtime at night to guard, and they are probably still trying to find time to enter the dungeon in batches to improve their physical fitness..."
Although the army possesses hot weapons, if it never enters the dungeon, it will be overtaken by players sooner or later.
Gu Mian touched her chin: "Thinking about it, they are really busy."
The fat man showed a miserable expression: "What a miserable animal."
The fat man sighed while looking into the ticket booth.
The decoration of this high-end ticket booth is indeed different from those of ordinary ticket booths. The walls, tables, and chairs are all brand new, and are several grades better than the ticket booths they have seen before.
The group of troops stood against several walls, keeping an eye on the situation in the ticket booth with their eyes wide open.
Gu Mian noticed that there was another familiar face in the army, it was the young man in military uniform who was buying flowers outside the ticket booth.
This young man must have joined the establishment temporarily. The clothes he wore seemed a bit too big and didn't fit well.
At this time, the young man seemed to have not slept last night. He had dozed off a little and nodded his head a few times. But immediately he opened his eyes wide and stared at the situation in the ticket booth, not daring to relax at all.
Gu Mian didn't pay attention to that boy for too long.
He turned to look at the ticket office.
There were many people in this high-end ticket booth, most of whom came looking for event tickets.
A short queue had already formed at the ticket office, and Gu Mian consciously stood at the end of the queue.
In front of him was a somewhat fat middle-aged man. He seemed to have noticed that someone was lining up behind him. The middle-aged man looked back at Gu Mian for a few times, then turned back and stretched his neck to look ahead.
The people in line were all very anxious, and Gu Mian saw them stretching their ears to listen to what was going on in front of them.
Seeing this, Gu Mian also stretched out his ears to listen to the sound in front of him.
At this time, the conductor was talking to the person first in the queue.
"Event tickets... high-difficulty dungeon..."
Because they were a little far away, Gu Mian couldn't hear clearly.
He saw the person at the front of the queue leaving the queue and walking to the side after the conductor finished speaking, as if he was going to enter the dungeon.
The fat man also looked at the man: "Is it possible that in order to get the ticket, I have to enter a high-difficulty dungeon?"
At this time, someone else entered the gate of the ticket booth. Behind the three of them, there was a young man.
After getting in line, this young man, like the people in front of him, stretched out his ears and looked forward.
The team moved forward very quickly, and it didn't take long for Gu Mian to understand the voice of the conductor in front.
"If you want to get event tickets, you must clear a high-difficulty dungeon. I will issue you a ticket for a high-difficulty dungeon first. After passing it, you can come to me to get the event tickets..."
"A high-difficulty dungeon?" Fatty frowned: "The event introduction didn't say that you have to participate in a high-difficulty dungeon if you want to get tickets, right?"
Gu Mian looked at the cheerful ticket seller in front of her: "I'm really worried that we won't be able to get tickets."
At this time, there were people queuing up behind them intermittently.
From time to time, people would come out of the copy with gloomy expressions on their faces.
The people who were queuing up looked like this when they saw the people coming out of the dungeon, and their expressions became solemn, as if they were afraid that they would not get tickets to the event.
The people inside had solemn expressions, and for a while the entire ticket hall fell into a depressing atmosphere. People felt a little anxious, and some even sighed.
Only the conductor in front always looked very happy.
It seems that if there are more players entering the dungeon here, the conductor will also receive some kind of share.
I saw him happily greeting players with solemn expressions one after another, and even his tone was a little flirty.
The team moved forward very quickly, and soon Gu Mian came to the front.
He looked down at the conductor sitting in the window.
I saw the person inside was tearing up a ticket with his hand. He seemed to be very busy, so he didn't even raise his head and quickly uttered the same words as before.
"If you want to get event tickets, you must clear a high-difficulty dungeon. I will issue you a ticket for a high-difficulty dungeon first. After passing it, you can come to me to get the event tickets..."
"Can you give me a dungeon ticket for a difficult dungeon? There are three of us." Gu Mian looked at the conductor's head behind the ticket window.
The conductor's cheerful voice came: "Of course, no problem."
I saw the man behind the ticket window speaking as he quickly tore up a ticket, stamped something on it, then raised his head and reached out to hand over the ticket.
Fatty has been observing the situation in front.
He saw the conductor in front of him finally raised his head, with a smile on his face. He was holding a ticket and seemed to want to hand it out.
But the moment the conductor's eyes came into contact with Gu Mian, he felt as if he was suddenly struck by lightning, and the smile on his face froze.
At this time, Gu Mian was reaching out to take the ticket.
Then the roar from the conductor rang in everyone's ears - "Wait!"
